The building of an Internet industrial （工艺的）park and a science and technology park will also begin in Xiongan this year.What's more，the area will improve the water quality （质量） of Baiyangdian Lake，one of the largest freshwater wetlands in North China.
Xiongan is also called China's "city of the future".According to the 2018﹣2035 master plan for the Xiongan New Area，the area will develop into a modern city that is green，smart and livable （宜居的） by 2035.It will also be a place for innovation （创新）.

This year is the Year of "Niu"or the Ox.Many Chinese people believe it's a good year because they love the animal so much.
In Chinese culture， "laohuangniu" is a symbol of hard work and selflessness （无私），because it works hard but asks nothing for itself.People love the animal so much that they write poems about it and paint pictures of it.
But in the West，people have a different opinion about the animal. "Bullheaded" （固执的） people will not listen to advice.If someone behaves "like a bull in a china shop"，people say he or she is clumsy when he or she should be more careful.
We hope that all the teenagers can work just as hard as the OX does.Avoid"a red flag to a bull"﹣ something that may make you very angry，And we also hope that you will always"take the bull by the horns （不畏艰险）"when you run into difficult situations.

（2）How do Chinese people express their love for "niu"？

Mary was waiting for the airplane to take off.She was happy to have a seat by herself.Just then，an air hostess（空姐） came up to her and asked， "Would you mind changing your seat？" The girl behind Mary had a black﹣and﹣blue face and a sad expression.She had her arms broken，and she needed help. "I don't want to sit there." Mary thought immediately.But the soft voice came again， "She needs help." Finally，Mary moved to that seat.
The girl was named Emily.She had been in a car accident and now was on her way for treatment（治疗）.
When the snacks and juice arrived，Mary realized that Emily could not feed herself.Mary considered offering to feed her but hesitated（犹豫），as it seemed too impolite to offer service to a stranger.But then Mary realized that Emily's need was more important.Mary offered to help her eat.Although Emily was uncomfortable to accept，she agreed.They became closer and closer in a short time.By the end of the five﹣hour trip，Mary's heart had warmed，and the time was really better spent than if she had just sat by herself.
Mary was very glad that she had sat next to Emily and fed her.Love sometimes goes beyond human border（边界） and removes（消除） the fears that keep people away.When we reach our hands to serve another，we grow to live in a larger and more rewarding （有回报的） world.

Teen's 'wuxia' world
While many teenagers are struggling （奋斗） to write articles for their exams，Jin Minzhe has already written a whole book.
The 15﹣year﹣old boy from Suzhou，Jiangsu，recently published （出版） his wuxia novel Ji Chi Jing Hong He Shan Yi（《几尺惊鸿河山意》）.The story is set during the Southern and Northern Dynasties （420﹣581）.A young man lays down his pen and takes up a sword to fight for his homeland.

Jin's writing skills might come from his love of reading.In primary school，he read four books every week.In junior high school，where schoolwork is heavy，he still reads three to four books a month. ？
"My father loves history，so we often talk about our reading experiences and share our different opinions，" Jin said. "My mom takes me to bookstores and writers' lectures.She also took care of me when I wrote the book，reminding me not to stay up too late."

Eyes always on us
Video cameras are everywhere: schools, theatres and stores. But in recent years, theyhave entered our homes. Many parents set up cameras at home to watch their children's online classes and homework. Are cameras really helpful? What do students think about it?
| Li Ming Earlier last year, I liked to lie in bed and videos instead of studying. This watch affected my studies and made my grades worse. So my parents set up a camera to keep an eye on me. It worked. With the camera watching, I had to do my homework first and make plans for studying at home. When I was alone at home, the camera made me feel safe because I knew that my parents were watching on the other side. My grades improved after a year. |
Zhang Hua When I was in Grade 8, my parent set up a camera in my room. I really didn't like it because I felt like there were always eyes watching me. I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep well at night. Knowing there was a camera around when my friends came to my home, they would speak quietly and carefully. We couldn't have pillow fights. I was sad. So I asked my parents to take the camera away. They agreed it as long as I promised to behave well. I feel happy and free now. |

Online, English has become a common language for users from all over the world. In the process, the language itself is changing.
There are now about 4,500 million web pages around the world. Some people say that within 10 years people will use English widely on the Internet, but in forms it is very different from what we accept and know as English today. Why?
That’s because more people now speak English as a second language. And they use it to communicate with other non-native speakers, especially on the Internet where they pay little attention to grammar and spelling.
Internet users already create a number of different “Englishes” like Hinglish(Indian English), Spanglish(Spanish English) and Konlish(Korean English). Though these different forms have been there within different cultures, they are now going far and wide online.
Some words are taken from traditional English. “Blur”(=" “not" clear” or “slow”), for example, is often used in Singlish(singaporean English). Some English words are put together to make something new. In Chinglish(Chinese English), “Long time no use” means “have not seen you for a long time”.
“In fact, most people speak different languages—it’s less common to speak only one,” says Mr. Smith. Enlish has become the world’s language, but it’s not pushing out other languages. Instead, other languages are pushing theirs into languages. Instead, in the process, creating something new.

A 10-year-old boy decided to learn judo though he had lost his left arm in a car accident. The boy was doing well, so he couldn’t understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move.
“Master,” the boy finally asked, “shouldn’t I be learning more moves?” “ This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the teacher answered.
Several months later, the teacher took the boy to his first competition. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent (对手) became impatient and charged; the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the final.
This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. Soon after the match started, the boy seemed to lose. Thinking that the boy might get hurt, the judge called a time-out. He was going to stop the match when the teacher appeared. “ No,” the teacher said, “Let him continue.” A short time after the match carried on, his opponent made a careless mistake. At once, the boy used his move to pin (压住) him. The boy won the match and the competition.
On the way home, the boy asked the teacher what was really in his mind. “Why could I win the competition with only one move?” The teacher answered. “First, you’ve mastered one of the most difficult throws in judo. Second, your opponent can only attack your left arm to win you.”

I have lived in France for nine years. but I cannot walk down the street without being recognized(认出) as an Englishman from 50 metres away, before I open my mouth. Why?
In France, the quickest way to recognize an Englishman is that he'll be the one with the belly(肚子) and the shirt hanging out. Englishmen often wear shapeless black T-shirts, either too big or too small. However. Frenchmen are more formal(正式的）in dressing. Their T-shirts have collars(领子). Shorts have buttons and zips rather than drawstrings(拉绳). Shoes look expensive.
Englishmen think of lunchtime as I pm. but for Frenchmen it is 12 o'clock, one hour earlier. This may explain the sad looks if an Englishman arrives at a local restaurant at 1:30 pm. At that time most restaurants don't have waiters. All the cooking and serving may be done by the boss and his wife. When you arc shown to your table, just sit there and wait. Don't wave your hands to the waiters. Englishmen think guests should do something to make the waiters pay attention to them. But in France some bread and water will come first, then the waiters will take your order according to the rhythm(节奏) of the restaurant. Have enough patience(耐心)!

Internet is educational. Many people think children should be allowed to surf the Internet as they wish. In this way, they can look through different subjects on different kinds of websites according to their own interest. But in my opinion, children should always be watched while surfing the internet.
Many websites have information and pictures that children should not see. There are many things that children don’t understand. All of these may have some bad influence on children’s development. Also, it is dangerous to let children chat rooms by themselves. Many parents tell their children not to talk to strangers on the street, so they should be careful of whom their children talk to on the internet too. What’s more , sitting in the front of a computer for a long time isn't good for children’s eyes, so parents should monitor(监视) the time that children spend on the internet.
In a word, children should be kept away anything that could be bad for them. I strongly believe that it is necessary for parents to watch their children when they use internet. Is the Internet educational all the time?

Every place offers the possible dangers for getting hurt, even staying at work. We may face dangers like walking into desks or chairs, receiving unexpected cuts from a paper knife and so on. Industrial jobs have similar and more dangers like getting body parts hurt by machines or falling from a height.
No one wants to get hurt. Some accidents are avoidable(可避免的). Most accidents happen because of common things seen every day—an open desk drawer, a chair pulled out too far, water on the floor and so on. We slowly get used to these things we see every day and never think about what they could possibly become in the future.
Think about the following to prevent dangers to yourself and others:
1. If there is something you see and know may become a danger for yourself or others, do something about it. Close a desk drawer, clean up or put a sign over the water, turn off the power before leaving, and so on.
2. Get extra persons’ help and support on a task that is too hard for a single person.
3. Study the situation and think what could possibly happen and change if necessary. Do it before something happens and you won’t have to say some day, “ I should have… How sorry I feel…”
To use an old phrase ‘Safety is everyone’s duty.’ Looking down on it could lead to being hurt. Keep the rule in mind every day “ Everyone wants to go home in the same condition they came to work in -– or better.”
